Zongwu: I am Ma Dayuan's disciple, Master's wife, you are so hot

The three of them ate and chatted. During the meal, Dingdang and Ling'er drank a few glasses of wine with Shen Xin.

However, both women couldn't drink much. After a few drinks, their cheeks flushed, adding a bit of charm.

After eating and drinking, Jingle Bell and Ling'er started to clean up.

Ling'er didn't want Dingdang to help. After all, it was already dark after the meal, and Dingdang had to go out with Shen Xin today...

It would be better to let her wash and dress herself up, and leave these tasks to me.

But Dingdang insisted on doing these tasks.

It wasn't that she was embarrassed to pass the job to Ling'er, but when the time came, she was a little nervous.

The night is getting darker.

A familiar song rang out in the yard where Shen Xin was.

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells~

The yard was not big to begin with, and the room where my son lived was not far from Shen Xin and Ding Dang.

Ling'er heard every little noise.

Ling'er was able to follow Shen Xin and Dingdang out of the Shenhou Mansion. It was impossible for her to say that she had no feelings towards Shen Xin.

However, she and Shen Xin have never had much chance to communicate, and she is not as lively and cute as Dingdang, so she cannot be as proactive as Dingdang.

Today Dingdang asked Shen Xin to stay, which surprised Ling'er even more!

She didn't understand and could only show respect. If it were her, she would not be able to do it anyway...

Normally, only jingle bells should be heard tonight, but no bells.

But as I said, the yard is too small and everyone lives in close proximity, so any noise can be heard.

Ling'er was infected by the music and unknowingly came to the door to watch and wanted to learn!

Teaching one person is teaching, teaching two people is also teaching.

And you can also play a Christmas Eve song, why not!

……

The next day.

In the afternoon, Shen Xin left the Shen Mansion, got on a carriage and went straight to the Li Mansion.

After their relationship took a step further, Shen Xin did not let Ling'er and Dingdang continue to live in the small courtyard outside, but brought them to live in the Shen Mansion.

Arriving at the gate of Li's Mansion, Shen Xin got off the carriage, asked the servant to inform, and was invited in. He met Madam Li in the hall.

As for Li Gefei, he was not in the mansion at this time, but went to work in the Ministry of Rites.

"Master Shen."

Mrs. Li looked at Shen Xin with a strange look. Obviously, she had learned from Li Qingzhao that what Shen Xin said yesterday about secretly getting married was all nonsense.

But she still maintained her outward politeness, greeted Shen Xin, and asked the servants to serve tea.

After inviting Shen Xin to drink tea, Mrs. Li started talking about business: "Mr. Shen, why are you here today?"

"What do uncle and aunt think about the matter between me and Qingzhao?"

"We're still discussing it." Mrs. Li actually liked Shen Xin more, and she also saw that her daughter seemed to be interested in Shen Xin.

But Li Gefei was very concerned about the relationship between Shen Xin and Cai Jing.

After all, he didn't know the inside story of the changes in power in the An family after An Yunshan's death, but Li Qingzhao knew it. Even if she didn't know it, she could roughly guess it.

There is no such thing as an An family as a stepping stone. Now the An family belongs to Shen Xin.

Shen Xin's statement yesterday was exposed after Li Gefei asked Li Qingzhao to verify it.

"This is a major event concerning the lives of our children, so we should consider it carefully." Faced with Mrs. Li's refusal, Shen Xin did not make a fuss, but instead agreed with Mrs. Li's words.

This made Mrs. Li like Shen Xin even more.

When Shen Xin asked to meet Li Qingzhao, Mrs. Li did not refuse, but asked someone to call Li Qingzhao over.

Chapter 192 The Tragic Grandmaster - Zhao Yixing

"Mom, what do you want from me?"

Li Qingzhao arrived quickly. She was at home dressed as a woman, wearing a white dress, a phoenix hairpin in her hair, and a pair of pearl earrings of average quality.

She has no makeup on her face, but she is still stunningly beautiful.

Her dress was relatively simple. Although her father was a member of the Ministry of Rites, Li Qingzhao's family conditions were not actually very good.

However, such simple dress can better highlight her beauty.

"Why are you here?" After greeting her mother, Li Qingzhao turned her gaze to Shen Xin. Her tone was a little angry and a little embarrassed.

Shen Xin retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "Let me ask about the result!"

"That will definitely disappoint you." Li Qingzhao raised her pink lips and smiled.

"Where there is a will, there is a way. This is just the beginning. I think my uncle will change his mind sooner or later."

"Not always."

Li Qingzhao was very clear about her father's temper, and the relationship between Shen Xin and Cai Jing was the biggest obstacle for her to be with Shen Xin.

If Shen Xin doesn't handle this matter well, her father will never agree.

And if Shen Xin wanted to use some tricks, he would have to ask her whether she agreed or not.

"How about we make a bet?" Shen Xin raised his eyebrows and tried to provoke him a little.

"What do you want to bet on?"

"If I lose to you, I will agree to one of your requests. If you lose, you will agree to one of my requests."

"There has to be a limit."

"It's limited to you and me, and this request requires the other party's consent and approval."

"Then what if I don't agree to any of your requests?" Li Qingzhao immediately found the loophole in Shen Xin's words and asked with a smile.

"Then I will enforce the family rules." Shen Xin winked at Li Qingzhao with an ambiguous look on his face.

"You haven't won yet," Li Qingzhao glared at Shen Xin in shame and anger, and then agreed to his bet: "Okay, I'll bet with you, I just hope you won't break your promise when the time comes."

"Don't worry, I won't lose." Shen Xin looked confident.

Li Qingzhao was also very confident, which came from her understanding of her father.

Watching the two of them fighting back and forth, Mrs. Li smiled like an aunt. The more she watched, the more she felt that the two were a perfect match.

Instead of staying here to disturb them, Mrs. Li found an excuse to leave the hall to Shen Xin and Li Qingzhao.

After Madam Li left, Li Qingzhao relaxed a lot. She went to sit on the chair opposite Shen Xin, totally different from the lady she had when she first came to the hall.

Shen Xin looked at Li Qingzhao intently, without any concealment.

It was not until Li Qingzhao could no longer bear his gaze and was about to get angry that Shen Xin suddenly withdrew his gaze and spoke.

"By the way, do you know that the imperial court intends to clear out the Worry-Free Cave?"

"Is it related to the assassination on the Lantern Festival?" Li Qingzhao asked, and then looked uninterested.

"This is not the first time that the imperial court has tried to solve the problem of Wuyou Cave, but it has never succeeded. This time, it is just a lot of noise but little action."

"This time it's different. The emperor was stabbed, and Cai Jing is also involved."

Li Qingzhao shook her head and said, "You don't understand the situation of the court and Wuyou Cave. The high-ranking officials of Wuyou Cave do not stay in Wuyou Cave for a long time, and the court does not fully understand the identities of the high-ranking officials of Wuyou Cave."

"The imperial court is trying to suppress them with great force. The worst that can happen to those high-ranking officials is that they can just abandon Wuyou Cave and hide outside. After a while, when the imperial court withdraws its troops, they can go back."

"Besides, the people in Wuyou Cave are not pushovers. There are four grandmasters in the Thief Sect, Wuyou Tower, and Beggars' Sect..."

"No, there are only three left now." Shen Xin corrected Li Qingzhao's statement, and as expected, the one who killed the grand master was Li Qingzhao in front of him.

Li Qingzhao nodded and continued her previous topic: "In addition to these three grand masters, there are two more grand masters in Wuyou Cave."

"Besides, that madman can display celestial-level strength from time to time."

The six grand masters of Wuyou Cave!

The leader of the Thieves' Sect, Lu Fang, the owner of Wuyou Tower, the eldest brother of the Beggars' Sect, Shang Xiongyi, the second eldest brother of the Beggars' Sect, Shang Xiongxin, Zhao Yixing, a member of the Zhao Song royal family, and finally a madman of unknown origin.

That is the grandmaster that Li Qingzhao mentioned, who could display his celestial level strength from time to time.

Strictly speaking, the other party should be at the celestial realm.

But because he is crazy, he is at the Grand Master level most of the time.

Those outside who don’t know the situation would actually think that the other party is just a grandmaster.

Even those outside who don't know much about Wuyou Cave still think that there are only four grand masters in Wuyou Cave.

Shen Xin also learned the news from Cai Jing, but the court did not know much about that madman. On the contrary, the court knew a lot about Zhao Yixing, a member of the Zhao Song royal family.

In the process of eradicating Wuyou Cave, Zhao Yixing will not only not become an obstacle, but will also become a staunch helper.

Zhao Yixing was originally a member of the royal family. When he was young, he was full of passion and went to Wuyou Cave to do justice.

Then, Zhao Yixing was severely taught a lesson by Wuyou Cave.

In the Worry-Free Cave, he suffered both physical and mental torture. Although he was finally rescued, he also experienced social death.

He was too embarrassed to stay outside any longer. After all, as a member of the royal family, he was exposed in Wuyou Cave...

So, Zhao Yixing finally returned to Wuyou Cave.

Over the years, Zhao Yixing had caused a lot of trouble in Wuyou Cave to the Daomen, Wuyou Tower, Beggars' Sect and other forces, especially the Beggars' Sect. In the beginning, Zhao Yixing was captured by the Beggars' Sect and then sold.

"You shouldn't include Zhao Yixing in this. Besides, the madman you mentioned won't care about the lives of the Thieves' Sect, the Beggars' Sect and other forces as long as the imperial court doesn't bother him." Shen Xin said.

Li Qingzhao did not refute this. The court did not need to deal with Zhao Yixing and that madman.

But she needs it.
